Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award
In June 2007, the Kansas Polymer Research Center Scientists received the prestigious Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award for their ground breaking discoveries with environmentally friendly materials in conjunction with research partner Cargill, Inc.
The award in the Designing Greener Chemicals category recognizes the KPRC and Cargill Scientists for the invention of the new family of BIOHTMPolyols help manufacturers of flexible polyurethanes reduce the impact on the environment.
"I am incredibly proud of the world-class research being performed by our scientists at the Kansas Polymer Research Center and the benefits their discoveries provide for our industry partners," said PSU President Tom Bryant. "The work they are doing is making our Earth a little greener and our technologies smarter. It is a wonderful honor for these scientists and for Pittsburg State conjunction."
